Water pipes o. X In spite OF the frost.
New Years presents at w. II. Taggart
& Coz.
Frank +. Watkins and family have
spent the week at Mineral Park.
Taggart d Co. received a car load OF
fresh groceries yesterday, and all hands
were busy unpacking them.
L. Siebenhaur and r. q. Mitchell, two
commercial travellers Of San Francisco,
are at the Kingman Hotel to-day.
An immense lot OF general inerchan-
disc received during the past two or three
days at Taagart 4 Co.'s. Call and exam
inc goods and prices. Es
Hank Mcclure went back 10 the Big
Sandy this morning with big load OF
lumber, and rumor has 1t that he il soon
going to be married.
The completion Of the Luthy block is
delayed for the want Of car load OF
lumber, which has been over six weeks
on the road from Flagstaff.
Taggart & Co., the enterprising King
man caterers, have had for sale during
the week fresh salmon, smelt, rock cod
tom cod, shrimps and crabs, dressed
chickens and turkeys, Oregon apples and
host OF other good things 10 eat. This
ought TO satisfy an Eastern epicurean, let
alone an old Arizona Hassayamper.
The Indians patronized the circus quite
liberally, nearly one hundred of them be-
ing in attendance. For a poor, half
starved, miserable, impecunious and gen.
orally God-forsaken tribe, as Our con-
temaoraries are fond Of calling them,
they appeared TO rustic up four bits each
with remarkable celebrity.
Taggart & Co. managed to get some oi
their delayed freight on Wednesday, con-
sisting Of a car load of barley, also one OF
-four, wheat and corn. In addition to
that they bought several tons Of oats and
other produce from ranchmen. The car
load OF -four had been four weeks on the
road from Sacramento, Cal.
A letter from J. w. Stephenson informs
us that he has arrived safely at San Ber-
nardino and expects to open Law office
there az soon as his library arrives.
There are some forty lawyers there, but
VIC have no douht that Mr.. Stephenson
will soon make his presence known among
them, and capture his share OF the busi'
ness.
Joe Allyn promised us a list OF the
game he and Frank Watkins killed on
their recent trip to the river, but he has
failed to connect. All that is definitely
known Of the trip is that fifteen ducks
were sent up to VIM. +. Frost from the
Needles by the hunters, but the fact that
Frost found several arrow heads In them
looks rather suspicious, to say the least.
Henry &. Wilson, the well known
stock raiser, ranchman and millionaire oi
Red Bluff, Cal, who is principal owner in
the Oro Plata, Mariposa and many other
mines in this county, is in town this
morning, shaking hands with his many
friends, whose name is legion. The re.
cent developments and rich strike in the
Orc Plata is what brings Mr.. Wilson here
Cattle in Mohave county are doing as
well, or better, than any in the Territory
This is exemplified by the fact that q
band OF sixteen yearlings brought NJ
from the Goodmon and Mcclure ranges
on the Big Sandy, were sold to oul
butcher, Wm. Z. Frost, this morning, al
an average Of sos pounds, and they must
have weighed all OF that, AZ we don't
think there is a cattleman in the Terri
tory who can get away with our butcher
on the weight OF beef.
Taggart q Co. have a good deal TO sa,
to the people of Mohave county through
our local and advertising columns ir
every issue OF the MINER, but in this issue
and until January 1st, 1888, they have,
and will continue to have, little mort
talk than usual. They are enterprising
public spirited merchants, who have done
as much to build up the town Of Kingmar
as any citizens in ii, and deserve to be
well patronized. We predict for them a
very large holiday trade.
